'Love, Simon' Series Reportedly In The Works For Disney+
Skyler Shuler on April 11, 2019
Days after Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the company announced they were seizing operations on Fox 2000. Released under that independent fox banner was the surprise dramedy Love, Simon. Now thanks to a new report we may be visiting these characters again.
According to Discussing Film, a series based on the film on the film is in active development for Disney's streaming service, Disney+, with Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker, who wrote the screenplay for the 2017 film, set to executive produce.
It is not known whether or not the series will be a continuation from the film or a brand new retelling. Production is expected to begin this August in Los Angeles and is expected to debut on Disney+ sometime in 2020.
Based on the novel from Becky Albertalli, and directed by Greg Berlanti (The Flash) Love, Simon starred Nick Robinson with Keiynan Lonsdale, Katherine Langford, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Duhamel, and Jennifer Garner. The film followed 17-year-old Simon (Robinson), who has yet to tell his family or friends that he's gay. His only confidant is an anonymous classmate with whom he trades emails and whom he soon realizes he's in love with. When another classmate discovers the emails, Simon finds himself threatened with being outed to the entire school, something for which he's not ready.
Love, Simon was well received with critic and holds a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film made over $65 million at the global box office on a slim $17 million budget.

Do less. We're all bored with each other's workload martyrdom.
Whenever the calendar flips over to a new year, I feel that we all fall into a familiar trap. We attempt, and subsequently fail, at following through with those ambitious resolutions we only recently set. One of the most common reasons our resolutions fail is that we're trying to add even more things to an already full plate.
It's pretty overwhelming when you commit to hitting the gym seven-days a week and volunteering at least once a week while you're running a business and taking care of your kids. Don't worry, most everyone falls into the same trap. I tend to fall into it a lot sooner than others.
It's time to make anti-resolutions.
"When we make a new resolution, we decide to spend more time going to the gym, developing a new skill, developing a new habit and all those things take time," Aeon recently told CBC Montreal's All in a Weekend. "Why not do the exact opposite? Why not disengage from the activities or commitments that we already have? You know, to have more free time or more time that we have just to ourselves."
Although a lot of people complain about not having enough time, Aeon says that work hours haven't changed over the last century. For men, at least, we have more leisure time then we did in the past.
"I find it amazing that most of the people that I know that complain about working too much impose that overwork on themselves," he said. "And it's the same thing with our leisure. Time pressure is not good because it has huge repercussions on mental health. We impose too much time pressure on ourselves."
So, I want to propose something radical for the new year: stop wearing your workload as a badge of honor. Do less. You read that correctly. I want you to get less done and be less productive.
That may sound like a pipe dream. But, let's go over the benefits of doing less and how you can achieve that so that you can have a less stressful and more meaningful year.
The benefits of doing less.
So, why would you want to do less? That seems counterproductive, right? The reality is that by doing less, you can reduce stress. In case you aren't aware, stress is sometimes called "the silent killer" since it can lead to sleep deprivation, mental deterioration and an increased risk for coronary heart disease.
Furthermore, by doing less, you can focus on your priorities instead of frequently switching between tasks. You'll produce more quality work in less time. You'll have greater pride creating something that's worthy of your name, and more time to spend with your family and friends doing the things that you love.
Cutting some things out will give the time to exercise, volunteer, read or learn a new skill that will improve your life and work. Are you ready to start doing less? Here are 10 practical ways that you can start today.
1. Think more like an executive.
McLeod recommends that you start applying that concept to your work. Instead of attending a meeting or conference that doesn't require your input, focus on the tasks that will help you achieve your specific goals.
2. Eliminate non-essential tasks and commitments.
Evaluate your existing tasks and commitments. Are you doing non-essential duties merely to get them done or are they worth completing? Answer those questions by making sure that your daily, weekly and monthly tasks and commitments are providing value and that you're suited to complete them. Identifying whether a piece of work is worth the time it takes to do is pretty much the concept in Cal Newport's book Deep Work.
Work that adds no value needs to be deleted from your schedule. Maybe these were tasks and commitments that provided value in the past but your goals have changed. For example, when you were just starting your business it might have made sense to attend weekly networking events but now that your business is established the events are more nuisance than benefit. Mark this in your calendar so you don't forget.
3. Utilize the talents of others.
Obviously, you can't delete every task or commitment that you have. But, if the task is not a good use of your skills or time, then it can be delegated or outsourced to someone else.
Just make sure that you've clearly explained your expectations and have provided the proper training and materials. Most importantly, empower and encourage these talented individuals by not micromanaging them. While you need to check-in and provide guidelines, there has to be autonomy as well.
4. Put specific tasks on the back-burner.
What if you're a solopreneur and every task seems worthy of your time? Consider putting the job off until later.
Not jumping right on a job may sound like procrastination to you, but it's the opposite. Not immediately jumping on a task means it's not urgent enough to be addressed at this very instant, despite feeling essential.
You can determine what's urgent and what's not using the Eisenhower Matrix. Make a list of your tasks and place each into one of four quadrants labeled do first, schedule, delegate, and don't do. The items positioned in the first quadrant deserve your attention now, while things listed in the second quadrant can be scheduled when you have availability.
5. Single task and focus.
Multitasking is a myth. Research shows that multitasking can take as much as 40 percent more time than single-tasking. Instead of attempting to juggle several things at once, focus on one task and then move on to the next. This sounds easier than it is. I've found blocking out specific chunks of time for specific tasks is the most effective way to single-task. During this block of time, I work on this task and nothing else. To make sure you don't lose focus, eliminate distractions by turning off your smartphone notifications and working in a quiet workplace.
Schedule in a break every 20-minutes or so to stand-up, stretch or go for a quick walk. We only have so much focus, so we need breaks to help clear out heads and refocus.
Taking a couple of minutes to sit and reflect can calm you down, clear your thoughts and create clarity on what needs to get done right now.
Boundaries require saying "no" to additional requests for your time, like an employee or a client asking to meet tomorrow at noon when you already have a packed schedule. You need to politely refuse these requests. If not, you're putting the priorities of other people over your priorities.
8. Don't worry about being imperfect.
Like multitasking, perfection is a myth. It's all in your head. Even if you've made a hundred revisions to an article that you wrote I bet someone will find a minor fault with it. Instead, crank that article out and go back and edit later. Even better, have someone else review it for you.
The point is that whatever you're working on will never be "perfect." Do your best but get it done.
9. Make rest a priority.
I know that you have a million things to do and you think there's no such thing as "rest" but, as Aeon noted, this is self-imposed. Aeon schedules between two and four hours per week just to lay on the couch or look at the window. Research has also found that 20-minute power naps boost your memory, cognitive skills, creativity and energy level.
Make it a priority to get six to eight hours of quality sleep per night.
10. Schedule regular procrastination time.
Finally, follow in the footsteps of leaders like LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner and block-out regular procrastination time.
Most importantly, it gives you a chance to catch your breath.

"I, too, could be here": Pope's benediction in Bolivia's most overcrowded prison
What happens when a visit from His Holiness sheds a light on a 'no go area' for the Bolivian state in which there has been an almost total failure at reform?
Toby Hill
San Pedro de la Paz prison inmates protest in 2013.Demotix/ Carlos Sanchez. All rights reserved."I couldn't leave the country without coming to see you," Pope Francis told his audience, a crowd of inmates assembled from seven different prisons across Bolivia.
He was speaking yesterday, on a bright Friday morning in Palmasola Penitentiary, a sprawling maximum-security complex covering several blocks in the lowland city of Santa Cruz.
Prisons in Bolivia, like many across Latin America, are notorious for their levels of violence and extortion. In the case of Palmasola, years of neglect finally detonated on 23 August, 2013, when a fight broke out in Sector PC3, nicknamed Chonchocorito.

Raul Velasquez, now a taxi driver working the streets of Santa Cruz, was serving a four-year sentence at the time.
"It was a fight between a gang from Block A and a gang from Block B," he said. "At first they just exchanged punches. Then they began to slash each other with knives and machetes. This wasn't uncommon. But then they started to burn people, using fire extinguishers filled with gas. The fire got hold of the mattresses and started to spread, and they couldn't stop it. It's a prison, there's not much water or anything that they could use to put it out. It was the fire that killed people."
By the time the blaze was extinguished, 31 people were dead, including a one-year-old child. Another 37 were injured. Over the next few days, four more people died from their burns, bringing the total number of fatalities to 35.
The immediate trigger, Raul explained, was a battle for power. As in most Bolivian prisons, extortion is a daily fact of life inside Palmasola, and whoever controlled Chonchocorito could make thousands of dollars during their years in jail.
"Luckily I escaped the worst of it, because friends helped me pay a little extra, $300 or $400, to stay in a calmer section," he told openDemocracy. "But if you fall in Chonchocorito they'll point guns at you, they'll electrocute you, they'll torture you, they'll call your family and say you have to pay us $500 or $800 or $1000 – the amount depends on your crime. That's what they were fighting for, this power, the power to extort."
In the days following the fire, Bolivia's President Evo Morales admitted that there was "no state presence" in Bolivia's prisons. In a TV interview a few months later, a former prison chief estimated that $30,000 changes hands every day inside Palmasola as a result of extortion.
"A time bomb owing to structural problems"
According to Hernán Cabrera, the Human Rights Ombudsman for Santa Cruz, the Bolivian authorities were alerted to the precarious situation inside Palmasola shortly before the events of 23 August.
"Three years ago we released a report which said that prisons in Santa Cruz were a time bomb," he told OpenDemocracy. "A time bomb resulting from structural problems in the prison system."
The biggest issue highlighted by the report was overcrowding. "The prison was built for 800 people and there are 4800 prisoners," said Cabrera. Statistics from the Development Bank of Latin America (the CAF) show that Bolivia has the third-highest levels of prison overcrowding in Europe and the Americas, at 233%.
Such overcrowding goes hand-in-hand with "obsolete" infrastructure, Cabrera added, describing "the neglected state of basic services such as water, sewage, drainage and health."
Exacerbating high levels of overcrowding are extreme delays in the justice system. "85% of prisoners don't have a sentence, and they can be incarcerated without a conviction for two, three, four years," said Cabrera.
CAF statistics show that Bolivia's prisons contain the highest proportion of pre-trial detainees anywhere in Europe and the Americas. Pre-trial detention is designed to enable the incarceration of suspects deemed to pose a serious risk of flight, or a danger to witnesses or the wider community. But in many countries it is a product of a gridlocked justice system, combined with a disregard for those who end up in jail on minor charges, but lack the financial resources to pay the bail, bribe or barrister needed to get their case heard.
Another underlying issue mentioned in the report was the complete absence of state policy for the rehabilitation or reintegration of prisoners.
"It still doesn't exist," said Cabrera. "If you're inside Palmasola, you're free to do whatever you want and think whatever you want all day long. Then when you leave you're given no support, leading many prisoners to reoffend."
Failed reforms
Following the deaths of 23 August, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights urged Bolivia to implement reforms to guarantee the lives of prisoners. The next month, Bolivian President Evo Morales signed a decree granting pardons to some convicts and pre-trial detainees incarcerated for minor offences. But despite such international concern and political statements of intent, no meaningful reform has taken place.
"They made some small cosmetic changes to the buildings and streets, and they improved security, with more cameras and stricter discipline," said Cabrera. "But whenever the prison is thoroughly searched it turns up knives, machetes, alcohol, drugs, guns, so controls are clearly still deficient.
"All this is to say that improvements within the prison have been very, very limited, and entirely superficial."
The Pope's visit to Palmasola was coordinated by Padre Leonardo da Silva, who was working as a Chaplain in the prison on the day of the fire. Da Silva concurs entirely with Cabrera's assessment of the inefficacy of government action since.
"There was a summit, there were platforms, there were government discussions, roundtable dialogues, inter-institutional collaborations – and everything remained exactly the same," he told us.
Then, with a few months to go before the arrival of the Pope, the authorities flew into action. In May, a temporary court was installed in Palmasola. Pre-trial detainees were hurriedly brought before it to be sentenced or released. By 19 June, 542 prisoners had been processed in these trials – still a small proportion of the more than 4000 detainees languishing in Palmasola without a sentence.
While helping the prisoners prepare for the Pope's visit, da Silva has watched these developments carefully.
"Hopefully it won't just be a palliative to decongest the system, to prevent the Pope finding too many prisoners crowding the prison, and afterwards we return to the usual situation of extreme neglect," he said. "But in any case the prison system isn't just sentencing and then giving a release order. Everything must be treated as a whole. There must be policies for rehabilitation and reintegration. We must remember we are managing human lives here."
As Chaplain of one of the prison's four churches, da Silva has worked closely with inmates in Palmasola for many years.
"Of course the prisoners have enormous expectations from the Pope's visit," he said, showing a book, titled Voces de Libertad, containing their hopes and desires, which he later presented to the Pope. "And there's no doubt that he's going to help illuminate the problems that exist inside the prison. This is a Pope who understands the theme very profoundly, who has a great sensitivity for the challenges facing convicts."
Since being elected, Pope Francis has continued to visit prisons several times a year, a practice which characterised his work as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. According to Vatican officials, he still makes a phone call every other Saturday to young inmates he met in the Argentine capital.
He chose to give his first Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper in a young offenders institute in Rome. After the service, he broke Catholic taboos by washing and kissing the feet of female and Muslim prisoners. Traditionally, this act is meant to mirror the moment, contained in the Gospel of John's account of the Last Supper, when Jesus washes his disciple's feet – all of whom were men.
Francis explained his affinity with convicts in an interview with the Argentinean newspaper La Voz del Pueblo. "'None of us can be sure that we would never commit a crime'," he said. "When I visit a prison I think to myself, 'I, too, could be here' ... They just haven't had the opportunities I have had of not doing something stupid and ending up in prison. This makes me cry inside. It is deeply moving."
This empathy is in marked contrast to the attitudes of the Bolivian government and many in Bolivian society, according to Human Rights Ombudsman Hernán Cabrera.
"The government isn't interested in people who go to prison, neither is most of society," he said. "We see prison as a dump. It's the final dump, and we send people there to rot. We don't give them a second chance."
During his speech to the assembled inmates in Palmasola, Pope Francis expressed a thorough understanding of their situation.
"There are many things against you, I know it very well," he said. "Overcrowding, the slow pace of justice, the lack of training, therapy or policies for rehabilitation, violence, all of these require rapid and effective cooperation between institutions in order to find solutions."
Da Silva, clearly exhausted by months of preparation for this moment, doesn't understate the size of the challenges any such co-operation will have to overcome.
"What we want and what we need is an impartial judiciary and, to be approached as a matter of urgency, a total transformation of the penitentiary system," he says.
Nevertheless, with Voces de Libertad under one arm, he allows himself a moment of optimism.
"I think more notice is being taken of this issue. I think society is being sensitized.
"In Bolivia, how many prisoners do we have? 13,000, 14,000 in total? So it's actually something very manageable. Hopefully all this work will bear fruit. Hopefully people have not only been moving themselves to act and to care as a piece of theatre for the visit of the Pope."

From start to finish daydream nation is an absolute masterpiece. Unarguably one of the finest rock album of all time. Guitars and drums in this album are so perfect that it never gets boring on the contrary every time you finish this album, you want to listen to it one more time. Every song in here is top class sure yet some of them are out of this world like teen age riot. One of the best tune i've ever listen in my whole life. I can say that for trilogy and cross the breeze too. If you read this comment and haven't listen to the album yet stop reading and go listen. I ensure you you won't regret.
Epitome of punk as far as I'm concerned. It just feels right, but doesn't make an ounce of sense. Just look up the tunings they use for their guitars and tell me anything makes sense. This album just works, it's an experience to live through. I love the violent, broody atmosphere of Rain King, and the soaring chords of Cross the Breeze, probably my two favourite tracks. I can't give a better, er, dissertation than Deus over here, and I'll be the first to admit I'm hardly knowledgeable about the social/political commentary this is meant to be, but all I can say is, it's such a raw, visceral ball of energy that explodes in your head. Ludicrous, incredible, passionate. A must listen.
On this the 30th birthday of one my absolute favourite records of all time, I think it's timely to reflect on the astonishing, bewildering, fully realised masterpiece that is this record.
Daydream Nation stands as one of the most vast, most intense and most evocative albums of all time. I first found it back in 2015 and was enticed by it almost immediately, not fully realising why I enjoyed it so much but going ahead with the knowledge that one day this record was going to make sense for me.
Truth be told, I still don't know fully why I love this record, nor exactly what makes it so brilliant. And trying to ascertain even the vaguest sentence on that subject goes way, way beyond the conventional reasonings of album structure, guitar solos and lyrics. Daydream Nation is an idea, a vision of sorts, not just an album.
For me, it's a snapshot of the discordant loneliness of the urban youth in late 80s America. After a decade of social, political and economic upheaval that saw some fly to the top, it's the ones who are left behind that matter. The anecdotes, characters and references on the record are what populate this image; it colours a world that has become disconnected from the rest of society. That's where the name comes in; Daydream Nation. What better do people have to do when they're cut off from society but daydream about a better world?
It's in the light of these ideas that Providence is without a doubt the most important track on the album. Whilst not the absolute best - we'll get on to that in a moment - it carries a number of essential functions. Thematically, it serves as a half-way stop and gives your mind a break from the swirling, ravenous mass of noise that constitute the first 7 tracks. Contextually, it captures the sound of that image I described; a lonely, melancholy piano plays as the world whirrs endlessly round it, before the romanticising of such feelings is crushed by those downward guitars that bring everything back into focus: the world is leaving you behind, and you have to face the reality of that.
That of course is but one interpretation, and indeed a number of people I've met who also love the record have all said the same thing: they don't know what Daydream Nation is about. But they don't mean that in the sense that they're left clueless about it, they mean it in the sense that they know something is going on here, but just don't know how to describe it.
I also could not sit here and try and explain my love for each track. It's just too detailed and confusing, and I'm fairly convinced I could write an essay about every song. Even what I believe to be the weakest track on here - Rain King - is an insanely cool, forboding, overcast day of a song. At an absolute push though, the four standout tracks have to be the mind-bendingly insane 'Cross The Breeze, the politically inflamed Hey Joni, the delicate, beautiful Candle and the astonishing Trilogy, which has earned a place as my absolute favourite album closer I've found so far and without a doubt one of my top 5 all time favourite songs.
And even then, trying to quantify Daydream Nation is just so arbitrary. Going back to my previous point, at its core it is in an idea, a world you have to step into and fully embrace. In that sense, it's less of a record that 'still feels relevant today' and one that feels like a landmark in alternative music history, which its high regard within the music community certainly jusitifies.
Daydream Nation is not only Sonic Youth's absolute crowning achievement but one of the single greatest accomplishments in music history. A record that conjures up images and ideas so unique to it and so well developed within its sprawling noise rock sound that it goes far beyond being just an album, and is more akin to 71 minutes of audio escapism into a world of melancholic searching for connection in a setting left behind by a society that doesn't care about it.
- Those opening notes on Teen Age Riot are spine-tinglingly good.
- The Sprawl has one of the my absolute favourite lines ever: "Does f*ck you sound simply enough?"
- That moment of relaxation on the end of 'Cross The Breeze when the mad guitar chorus settles into a gentle, subtle post-punk ditty is so damn good. Gives you just enough relapse from the intensity of the previous 6 minutes so that you can recover from all that power.
- Hey Joni packs a "KICK IT" only equalled by the Beastie Boys' one on Fight For Your Right.
- The opening riff on Candle always puts me in mind of sunrise over Manhattan and is amazingly beautiful.
- I've written what might as well be an essay on Trilogy already, which is posted on the track listing. It's simply one of the most stunning piece of music I've ever heard and has so much depth to it that I don't think I could fathom all of it even in a lifetime.
Yeah its a masterpiece but i'm happy that its status as one doesn't hamper it in any way. Great songs performed by a band at the hight of its experimental talents.
I can see where the high praise for this album comes from. It's very different than what was going on at the point in time that it was released. Has some great sound but ultimately, for me, it doesn't do as much as it seems it does for most people. Teenage Riot is an amazing song but other than that nothing really jumps out to much for me.
A recent listen for me. Extremely catchy and interesting! I can understand the high ratings, though I am not quite there yet.
Capolavoro dei Sonic Youth, disco che sta in una perfetta via di mezzo tra la furia incontrollata dei primi dischi e la maturità di "Dirty"... L'apice nell'iniziale "Teenage riot".
Am I missing something with this album? I've tried numerous times over the years to get into it, but I usually tap out about halfway in. I love Teenage Riot, but after that all I hear is noise and poor production. And I'm a huge fan of shoegaze, so noise isnt the problem. I'm just not picking up on the advanced sonic textures and nuanced punk riffing that everyone else is. I love albums like Loveless, Siamese Dream, Dootlittle, The Queen is Dead, and Disintegration. Those albums are always lumped together in with this one, but for some reason I just cant get into it. Maybe one day it'll click, but as for now I'm gonna say overrated.
I've already commented here, but I just typed up a much better description of whats great about this album and why it's my favorite on my greatest overall album chart, if you need to be convinced of why this record is amazing.


Were the Black and White Guardians also destroyed in the Last Great Time War?
It's not been stated explicitly on TV what happened to the Guardians. A number of things (including the havoc caused by River's attempt to rewrite a fixed point in "The Wedding of River Song" (6 story)) make it obvious that they're no longer active. This presumably is because of the Time War but we don't know if they were actually destroyed or if they were put out of action some other way.


Going into the iPhone X launch, one of my most pressing concerns was how to protect it without ruining the gorgeous design, notch not included. The handset has front and back glass panels like the iPhone 8 models, and they're likely to crack when dropped just right. Making things worse, Apple already revealed that it'll cost you about an iPhone 7 to fix the iPhone X.
The iPhone X certainly looks stunning, but according to a new stress test, some of its durability has been compromized in favor of attention-grabbing design — resulting in the new handset being Apple's most breakable iPhone ever.


In the last two days I frequently get an error message with the free edition of Awasu 3.0 saying that the Windows delayed write to C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\Awasu\archive.db failed. I think this probably is happening during an Awasu channel update. The message suggests a computer failure or my network. I do not believe either is the cause because I never ever get the message with anything else and my wireless signal is very strong as I am using a laptop at home in the same room and only about twelve feet from the router.
In fact, there is no file archive.db and I would have expected it from earlier when there was no such failure. However, I cannot detect any adverse effects resulting from this in my use of Awasu which is very basic. I do not use anything except basic capture from and reading of 9 channels after dragging items from them into Google Chrome.
As an optimization, Windows can be configured to batch up writes to a disk and as the error message suggests, one of these batched writes has failed. Because it's on your C: drive, it's got nothing to do with your network.
The file definitely should be there - if you open the About box, go to the System page and click on the Local data button, it will open an Explorer window for the appropriate directory (Windows will hide it by default which is maybe why you're not seeing it).
My guess is that your C: drive is starting to fail Back everything up and run some diagnostics!
The speed of your replies is fantastic. Thanks for that. I have two follow-up up questions two paragraphs below but I am not holding my breath!
Yes, I was looking in the wrong place and the file is not hidden at all and was there! Although there are other Awasu files where I had said, an ini file and my channels.
I will back up all my data pretty sharpish because, unfortunately, you may be right about computer failure being imminent. Mind you, why am I only notified of delayed write failure with this one file? I would have thought it is frequently invoked and not just by Awasu. Is there anything special in the way Awasu uses this feature or invokes it? I expect you to say there bis nothing explicit in Awasu at all, it is all within the operating system. Am I right?
This is a Dell Mini 9 Netbook with a flash C: drive and that failed before just after the warranty expired. Fortunately Dell replaced it free but I doubt that happening again. In which case I will chuck the laptop and rely upon my Desktop, also A Dell. I would never buy Dell again simply because they castrate vanilla Windows and constrain you bu doing so, plus their support software, which is mostly to support Dell not the user! Their customer service ranges from excellent to not even a reply and you never know which to expect!
This follows my earlier reply while in Oz you no doubt were and possibly still are asleep. Please, if you can, would you answer those questions I raised a little earlier.
But as well, on a hunch (logical or not), I have changed ChannelUpdateAgentConcurrency from the default to 1 and I have not had a delayed write failure since. Too early to draw conclusions as it may still happen again but it does seem odd to me that it has only happened at all with this one file in Awasu. Perhaps Awasu was putting the delayed write function under pressure more than other applications and my laptop cannot handle it what with a flash drive - and drive compression is only making matters worse, which Dell have forced on me. Is that a reasonable hypothesis?
It remains to be seen what interaction arises with you in the next few days but I will give you feedback after an interval whether or not we do not speak again after your replies her and now. Depending upon the relevance, it may be information of interest or use to you.
But again my thanks for your attention.
keepfeed wrote: why am I only notified of delayed write failure with this one file? I would have thought it is frequently invoked and not just by Awasu.
You're almost certainly getting the error because the particular bit of disk that file is on is starting to fail. Awasu is the only program that will be using the file, hence you'll only ever see the error with Awasu.
keepfeed wrote: I would never buy Dell again simply because they castrate vanilla Windows and constrain you bu doing so, plus their support software, which is mostly to support Dell not the user! Their customer service ranges from excellent to not even a reply and you never know which to expect!
Yes, every time I buy a Dell, I end up swearing I'll never do it again. But the others are not necessarily better Dell offer a level of hardware customization that the competition doesn't and they still provide a Windows installation disc - the first thing I do with any new computer is wipe it clean and re-install Windows.
keepfeed wrote: But as well, on a hunch (logical or not), I have changed ChannelUpdateAgentConcurrency from the default to 1 and I have not had a delayed write failure since.
This might help. Awasu hits the disk pretty hard when it's doing updates and this setting will throttle updates, hence reducing the load on the disk. But this only hides the symptoms and the underlying problem remains: your disk is probably starting to fail!
keepfeed wrote: and drive compression is only making matters worse, which Dell have forced on me. Is that a reasonable hypothesis?
Disk compression might be making a small difference. If it's a flash drive, it's probably small capacity, which is, I imagine, why it's been turned on. You should be able to turn it off by right-clicking on the drive in Explorer and un-ticking the box. Back everything up first! I'm not sure what will happen, given that everything is already compressed.
I found quite a lot of info at support.microsoft.com/kb/330174 suggesting techniques that may avoid delayed write failures where they are occurring, including turning off the disk cache. That suggests to me that disk failure is not necessarily around the corner and obviously I hope so. Maybe the specs of the flash drive installed is just not up to snuff.
Evidently, I guessed correctly that Awasu gives the disk a thrashing when updating. That is why I tried changing ChannelUpdateAgentConcurrency. Incidentally, I had stopped using Awasu some time ago with 2.3 which sometimes was dreadfully slow on this netbook but so far 3.0 seems a lot faster. Both have your beautiful GUI which make it a pleasure to use, especially with my minimalist template - See viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20469 where I gave details yesterday. At least one other Awasu user likes it.
I have not changed the compression by turning it off but will do if and when I find out that it can be done dynamically without losing the drive and the operating system. Also, if I do a defrag, that might move the location of Awasu.db. I did run the MS error checking on the drive but that indicated nothing, though I appreciate that is not conclusive. I did not find any other diagnostics I could run.
We are getting off Awasu territory here, but I would love to reinstall vanilla XP Home, a disk for which I have from my previous desktop prior to acquiring my current Dell desktop and, at the same time remove the partition Dell have set up for their version. However, that is not something they tell you how to do and I am scared getting into territory which is unfamiliar to me. My netbook has their version of XP Home whereas the desktop uses XP Professional which I would gladly forego to be in control of my PC as well as my netbook.
By the way keepfeed, do you ever delete all of the temp files that accumulate from web browser caching, the %TEMP% folder etc?
I run CCleaner periodically before a Defrag to remove a lot of the useless junk. By removing the junk before Defragging maybe there's a better chance that the Awasu.db file will get moved to a good location.

I am quite taken over the time you have been giving me, especially as this appears not to be an Awasu bug but reading between the lines I am not altogether surprised. Of all the free software I use, Awasu stands out a mile as being truly well designed and backed up by excellent help text. And as I said before, that GUI is superb.
I have done all you and kevotheclone suggest as that is my normal housekeeping. However, I will have to find out what a SMART test is and try that too. Not that I am expert either, but I would not be surprised to find that a flash drive lacks the sophistication to automatically move data from a suspect area. Now I have strong suspicion that it is not as good as a HDD. At the time I bought it, my thinking was the opposite seeing an advantage in no moving parts on a tiny computer! I bought it mostly to use for surfing for the latest news daily and online banking. My serious stuff takes place on my desktop, in particular digital processing of my photos with Photoshop.
More info about SMART here.
Flash disks are actually quite sophisticated (they need to be since they have some unique problems they have to overcome that normal disk drives don't) but they're still a relatively new technology, so some manufacturers are probably doing a better job than others. They are blindingly fast, in general more reliable, consume less power, but they're still somewhat bleeding edge technology.
A couple years ago we discussed using a RAM disk to speed up a portable Awasu installation.
Maybe I'll finally get around to giving it a try. I should probably also add some additional RAM to my current 4GB!

Michael Purvis
Michael Purvis, 39, of Umatilla, passed away Monday, August 23, 2021. Born in Eustis, Florida, he was a lifelong resident of Lake County. Michael graduated from Umatilla High School Class of 2000. Michael was known by all as an amazing husband, father, and son, but he was so much more than that. He was still deeply in love with his wife, Kristi, who he married in 2009, and his kids were the most important part of his life. While he was an exemplary family man, he was also quite accomplished in the business world. In 2003, just a few years after graduating high school, Michael founded his business, Specialty Fabrication and Welding. Michael's work ethic, customer service, and high-quality craftsmanship helped him grow that business exponentially year after year---from 2 employees in the early years to more than 20 today. Michael was also an outdoorsman. Whenever his busy schedule permitted, he loved to go hunting or fishing with Kristi, Henry and Hallee. He loved the outdoors, but more so, he cherished the time he was able to spend there with his family. His extended family was always happy for him to hunt because that meant a barbecue would be upcoming soon. The cookouts provided by Michael and his brother-in-law, Ed, were must-attend events for all in the family. The type of meat wasn't important---if Michael was grilling it, you knew it was going to be good! Michael was also active in the community that he loved so much. At different times he coached youth T-ball and soccer. He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church Umatilla for many years, and he loved Jesus. Michael dedicated his life to the Lord many years ago and the light of God shined through him in so many ways. Michael's legacy of love will live on through his family, his employees and countless others who were blessed to spend time with him. Michael is survived by his wife, Kristi Purvis, Umatilla, FL; son, Henry Lee Purvis, Umatilla, FL; daughter, Hallee Nicole Purvis, Umatilla, FL; parents, Scott and Karen Purvis, Umatilla, FL; grandfather, Hank Purvis, Umatilla, FL; in-laws, Jerry & Debbie Rogers, Umatilla, FL; sister & brother-in-law, Eddie & Jenna Johnson, Umatilla, FL; niece, Jasmine Riggin; nephew, Eddie Lee Johnson. Michael was preceded in death by his grandmothers, Ellen Purvis & Patricia Holston. Services will be held at First Baptist Church, Umatilla on Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 4:00 PM. Private interment will be at Glendale Cemetery, Umatilla. The family will receive friends at the church prior to the service from 3:00 till 4:00 PM.

Art Attendance and Change in Cognitive Function Among U.S. Community-Dwelling Chinese Older Adults
Darina V. Petrovsky, Bei Wu, Nancy A. Hodgson, Xin Qi Dong
Engaging in leisure activities that are cognitively simulating and enjoyable may be protective against cognitive decline in older adults; yet, few studies have examined this topic. We used two waves of data from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly and ran mixed-effects regression models to examine the relationship between baseline art activity attendance (including attending museum, musical arts, or both) and change in cognitive function (global, episodic memory, working memory, and executive function) among 2,703 older U.S. Chinese adults. We found that compared with older adults who did not attend any art activities, those who reported attending both art activities experienced a slower rate of change in episodic memory (estimate = −0.07; SE = 0.03; p =.01) and executive function (estimate = −0.06; SE =.03; p =.04). Our study findings point to the importance of attending art-based culture events among U.S. Chinese older adults.

Melbourne Heart FC remains in the top six on the Hyundai A-League table despite suffering a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Gold Coast United 3-0 at Skilled Park.
Despite dominating the early stages of the contest, Heart was dealt a blow just before the break as Bas van den Brink headed home before a Jason Culina double in the second half sealed the result.
Heart immediately went on the attack early as the side sought to reverse its recent bout of form, as Matt Thompson came close to marking his return with a goal, driving a long range effort into the post.
As Gerald Sibon dictated terms in the attacking third of the park, Heart maintained possession with metronomic consistency, pressuring Gold Coast deep into its own half.
United though managed to look threatening on the break and in the 18th minute James Brown came close to opening the scoring as his half-volleyed effort parried wide by Clint Bolton.
But that proved to be a temporary reprieve as Heart maintained its onslaught, with a tantalising Alex Terra ball narrowly evading both John Aloisi and Adrian Zahra before Sibon managed to test United 'keeper Scott Higgins with a masterful piece of invention.
Receiving a knockdown from Aloisi, the giant Dutchman unleashed an improvised left-footed strike when off-balance, forcing Higgins into a strong save.
After managing to weather Heart-s early dominance, Gold Coast managed to work its way back into the contest, with a Kristian Rees header providing a ominous sign of United-s intent to wrest control.
World Cup Socceroo Culina came into prominence late in the half, as his probing balls and bubbling creativity caused havoc, and it was a corner from the former PSV Eindhoven midfielder which conjured the opening goal of the match as van den Brink headed home to hand Gold Coast the lead.
Heart-s woes were exacerbated after the break as Alex Terra and Michael Marrone were withdrawn due to fitness concerns, forcing van 't Schip into an unplanned tactical switch as Rutger Worm and Brendan Hamill entered the fray.
While Worm-s introduction sparked a revival, it proved to be short lived as Bruce Djite was brought down in the area by Michael Beauchamp.
Culina stepped up to convert the resulting spot kick, squeezing his shot past the outstretched arms of Bolton to double Gold Coast-s advantage.
Despite the setback, Heart ventured forward in search of the reply which would reignite the contest, with Sibon driving low into a wall from an indirect free kick inside the box before Aloisi drove a shot across the face of goal after a neat header from Adrian Zahra played the Socceroo legend through.
Pressing forward, Heart-s fullbacks Aziz Behich and Hamill pushed on as Heart attempted to craft an opening, with van 't Schip altering Heart-s shape to a 3-4-3 formation.
However, Culina soon sealed the result for the home side as he applied the finish at the back post after a cut back from Djite to ensure victory.

Q: Novel where a cube cooled below absolute zero makes a hole in reality Many years ago I read an old sci-fi novel - when I say old, I suspect it was from about the 1950's or so.
The elements I can remember are an experiment where a cube is cooled to below absolute zero and that it then punches a hole into another dimension.
They try to get people to look through the hole but anyone who does goes insane. Then the 'inhabitants' of the other dimension take offence to the damage the experiment is doing in their world and start attacking our world in retaliation.

A: The Universe Between, a 1965 novel by Alan E. Nourse, which was also the answer to this old question. It was based on the short story "High Threshold" in Astounding Science Fiction, March 1951 and the novelette "The Universe Between" in Astounding Science Fiction, September 1951, which are available at the Internet Archive here and here.
ISFDB synopsis:

A scientist conducting experiments on low temperatures inadvertently trespasses on another universe.

I don't have a copy of the novel. The following excerpt is from the short story "High Threshold":

Ned McEvoy took the ball from his briefcase and laid it on the desk before the thin man with his pince-nez. "What does that look like to you, Dr. Bamford?"
The man examined it closely, and looked up smiling. "It looks like a tennis ball that someone has turned inside out," he replied.
McEvoy chuckled. "And how would you go about turning a tennis ball inside out, Dr. Bamford?"
"Can't say I know, offhand." He looked quizzically at McEvoy. "What can I do for you, doctor?"
"You've heard the old story of the goats that were carried across the Andes on muleback—and all died of fright?"
"Of course."
"Well, we have the same problem in my laboratory. Only we have men dying of fright."
Dr. Bamford's eyebrows went up. "Adjustment?" he ventured.
"We think so. About six months ago we ran into a peculiar snag in the work I was supervising. The Institute of Physics has been concerned for several years with problems involving extremely low temperatures—nearly absolute zero temperatures. The work we originally planned called theoretically for an approach within six decimals of complete cessation of molecular motion. That involves a temperature of one millionth of one degree Kelvin. And we reached it."
McEvoy fingered his collar nervously, and shifted his weight in the chair. "Matter of fact, we did even better. Our pumps began acting up as we approached a thousandth of a degree. What happened, we think, was a reversal of the Franklinson effect in the extremes of high temperature, where the temperature doubles quite suddenly with a tremendous molecular expansion. Our temperature took a sudden startling drop."
"I'm not quite sure I follow you," said Dr. Bamford. "From one degree Kelvin, just where does the temperature drop?"
McEvoy scowled. "A good question," he said. "I don't know, to be quite frank. Zero Kelvin is a relative and hypothetical point at which all molecular motion ceases. Below zero Kelvin, if such were possible, one could reasonably expect negative molecular motion. That may have been what we obtained; we don't know. But we certainly observed a change. The tungsten block we were treating simply evaporated. Vanished. The temperature recording device vanished. All we could see in the vault was a small glowing hole in the corner of the room where the block had been. Nothing in it, Dr. Bamford—nothing. And the hole, seen at a distance, appeared very suspiciously like a—hypercube."
The doctor was silent for a long moment. "You investigated?"
"We surely did. We're still trying. It looks as if we have a four-dimensional projection in our three-dimensional space—a corner, or an edge, of four-dimensional space. We've tried everything, and we're getting nowhere. So far we've lost five crackerjack technicians investigating. We're no better off than when we started."

And this one is from the novelette "The Universe Between":

He sat up, his eyes wide and frightened. "No wonder they're afraid! It's tearing their universe to shreds, warping hyperspace through hyperspace, turning the innertube inside out, inverting the circle! Your transmatter is twisting material objects through places where they simply can't go!" He jumped out of bed, his thin body trembling. "Can't you see it? All you get is a mild distortion of the objects that get through. But you're wrenching apart their whole universe! Of course they retaliate! What else can they do? They can bring force to bear, too, random distorting force on this side of the Threshold. They've known about the Threshold—I've been crossing through for years. They must have investigated it. And now they're clipping whole chunks of our universe right through into their hyperspace, trying to scare us, warn us off, stop us. They just happened to take San Francisco with them, and Boston was probably just a near miss! And those places are torn out by the roots, twisted up across the Threshold into a wild jungle of distorted geometry and raving lunatics."
The boy's face was white, his voice pleading. "Dr. McEvoy, you've got to turn that thing off. Before they split the earth in two."
